WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the
trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.

WARNING:
Make sure all materials to be sanded are well secured.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the workpiece.
Excessive pressure does not improve the sanding
effect, but only results in an increased load on the
machine and causes the abrasive
to tear.
Avoid overloading.

WARNING: Do not sand magnesium!
